If you know what you want to do, are motivated, and work well independently, this is the place for you. The campus and the surrounding woods have terrific energy. Plainfield VT is one of the most beautiful little towns in the whole, wide, world. You will meet life changing people at Goddard, and you will be in company with some amazing, brilliant, and inspiring people. But be aware; Goddard has the same problems that can be found at any college. Mixed in with amazing and dynamic faculty advisers are the burnt out, the personality disordered, and the incompetent. Goddard admin has it's unique set of problems, and low residency is much harder than traditional type college. All that said, I'm so grateful I went to Goddard. I never would have learned so much about the world and about myself. I designed my own studies, instructed myself in everything from herbal tincturing, Jungian dream analysis,creative writing, transpersonal theory, and developmental psychology. And, based on my studies, I got accepted at a great graduate school! Goddard is an experience that never really stops; my time at Goddard shaped the way I interact with the world in general. It changed me. In the best ways. If you go to Goddard, take a sidetrip down the street to the Plainfield Co-op -- Plainfield Co-op rocks!!!!

My graduate experience at Goddard was a joke.Inept eccentric (aka progressive) professors who had…read moreno place to even instruct others. Administration was worthless (Vaccaro the inept president). After I decided to stop returning there, Their inflated tuition costs really reinforced what a joke it was to attend the school. In undergrad, I was an honor student in a Harvard-based society (Delta MU Delta). When I challenged certain professors, I was black-listed. When that happens, all of the professors stick up for each other and the student is deemed "insignificant". I worked very hard while in graduate courses, yet the whacked , eccentric professors made it even more difficult for me. So much for their supposed mission. Now- they are defunct for different reasons, but my experience with those 'inept" professors contributed to their downfall. And re: doctorate designations? Sometimes those designations are ill-awarded. One goes through the academic hoops, but that does not necessarily make you worthy of that designation. That was obvious with certain professors at Goddard. Anyway, those who are sad at Goddard's eventual downfall, there are others who saw it a different way.
